Posted in the main thread, but hey why not here too.

  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2
  • Alpha Protocol
  • Arena Swarm
  • Tropico 3: Absolute Power
  • Devil May Cry 4
  • Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes

Spent less than the $30 budget I gave myself for the sale. Largest single expenditure was $6.80 on BFBC2.

Not much, but happy with what I bought:

Batman: AA
Lara Croft something-something-of Light
Puzzle Quest (don't remember which version)

$12 total, or so.

My #1 wish was Mass Effect 2 for $5. They did that for ME1 last year so I was hopeful.

After last year's sale and most of the other sales throughout last year, I've actually been content with the games I already own. With that said, I only bought one game:

Europa Universalis 3 Complete $5

Battlefield Bad Company 2 $6.80
The Witcher Director's Cut $5.00
Mass Effect 2 $9.99
Torchlight $4.99
Crysis Pack $9.99
Company of Heros $2.49
Defense Grid: Awakening (gifted to me....awesome game!)

I gifted to my son:

Defense Grid: Awakening
Torchlight
Sniper: Ghost Warrior

Only thing I really regret passing on: Wings of Prey

Biggest disapointment: I was hoping they'd put Call of Duty 2 on sale. Don't have it, it's old, and I want it (cheap).

I only grabbed The Witcher and Dragon Age Ultimate Edition for a total of $30.

There were a few others that I was considering, but mostly those are games I already have on different platform or even on PC but not on Steam that I'd like to have a Steam version of (GTA:IV, NWN2, etc). I ended up coming to my senses and decided that as extra copies they weren't really worth the money.

I didn't buy much this time, so much backlog from past sales. Got the most recent PoP game, the Jedi Knight bundle and the Sherlock Holmes bundle. Got The Witcher from Amazon because I missed it from Steam.

Could have been worse, and it was a lot worse last Xmas.

Yup, last year I spent so much more last year. This year I spent only around $15 and got 5 games because I had spent so much last year and earlier this year on weekend Steam sales, I already had most of the games that were on sale this year.
